MIDSALIP, ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR — The NIA Zamboanga del Sur Irrigation Management Office (ZDSIMO) successfully conducted a Turn-Out Service Area Group (TSAG) meeting on May 30, 2025 in Brgy. Lumpunid, Midsalip, aimed at addressing irrigation concerns and enhancing support for irrigators associations.
The meeting was led by Ms. Ann N. Maligro, Supervising Institutional Development Officer (IDO) of ZDSIMO, and gathered 15 members of the Boloron Lumpunid Dumalinao Farmers Irrigators' Association (IA). Also present were Barangay Councilors Hon. Felix Cabrera, Hon. Bonifacio Rico and Hon. Dondon Alison, IA Board of Trustees, and IA officers, and other NIA key personnel.
Discussions centered on the findings of the recent geo-resistivity survey, which indicated low water yield in the area. In light of this, the Irrigators Association formally requested an additional solar pump to enhance water supply and sustain agricultural productivity. The request will undergo further evaluation as part of a potential proposal for a future solar irrigation project.
